Ten "Food Network Star" hopefuls are greeted by Giada De Laurentiis and Bobby Flay to kick off the competition; each finalist must create a portable version of their signature dish.
The final four have to handle the rigors of live TV by producing their own livestream demos with on-camera talent Anne Burrell. Then they host their own "in the kitchen" shows with guest Ree Drummond.
The pilots are in, and Giada De Laurentiis and Bobby Flay determine the fates of the three finalists. Watch what happens behind the scenes and find out who will join the Food Network family and become a Food Network Star!
Eliminated chefs compete for a chance to rejoin the competition.
The remaining finalists create food podcasts about colorful snacks and film field reports from Los Angeles' hottest food hall, The Proud Bird. Richard Blais and Food Network Star alum Damaris Phillips serve as guest judges.
